Under strain, especially in connection with serious illnesses, the immune system is often weakened or not fully functional. With immune therapies the body's defences are activated or a physical situation is created in which this system can fulfil its tasks more easily.
In this way whole-body hyperthermia creates an artificial fever and provides the ideal conditions for an efficient immune system. Within the context of cancer therapy immune-supportive substances can be prescribed to trigger an optimised immune response and inhibit the growth of tumours or lead to a regression of the tumour in ideal cases.
If healing cannot be achieved, it is always about increasing the quality of life and prolonging the times that can be actively spent free of symptoms.
